Homestead House Milk paint

Milk Paint can be a stain, solid colour paint or embossing paste depending on how much water you add. It adheres to porous and low sheen surfaces that are clean. Never to chip or peel on porous surfaces such as raw wood and plaster. A higher sheen or a resist creates a unique chippy look. To avoid a chippy look, apply an initial coat of Fusion Mineral Paint™ or Ultra Grip / Bonding Agent 12 hrs prior.

MIXING: Stir 1 part water to 1 part powder to a table cream consistency for a sit, opaque coverage. Paint out a small sample to test. Add more water if too clumpy or more powder if too thin. Apply paint evenly to clean surface. Light colours need an extra coat. Dip brush to bottom and stir when loading to avoid paint separation. Dry / re-coat / cure time is ~30 minutes. Sand to smooth or distress surface. Seal for: protective sheen and darken chalkyness with our Furniture waxes and food-sat VOC-free Hemp Oil. For high traffic surfaces use Gel Stain Top Coat or Stain & Finishing Oil (available in clear and many tints to antique at the same time). Tung Oil for exterior projects. Water-based Tough Coat on light colours only.
